Here are some from this mornings watering, unfortunately the camera battery died before I could finish. Hopefully, I'll finish up tomorrow morning.

Here is Pleurothallis alata, maybe a repeat.

Pleurothallis segrigatifolia - very wirey flower stalks that never stop moving! Annoying to get photo's of.

AMazing orchids everyone! I'm floored by the more unusual ones. I just acquired 3 new ones this week that I'll have to photograph. The Paph. Mauridae 'Napa Valley' is almost fully open. It's not very colorful, but the flower shape is flawless! The Tolumnia is blooming well, but I don't know what it is exactly. My most unusual one, by far, is the Oncidium jonesianum. It's spiking, but the leaves are worth photographing. Hopefully I'll get those up soon.
 
Some Pic's from today.

Finally got in that 3-4 hour window that Bulbophyllum pardalotum is fully open. Looks like 9am to 1pm for me, then it closes up for the day.

The mess that bulbo is living in...

Next up, a tiny one Platystele vellota along with some Pleurothallis brighamii and Pleurothallis luctuosa.

Those are amazing, do you have better pics of the whole setup ?

Unfortunately no. Those are from 2 different tanks and they is currently too much stuff in the way to get a full setup photo. I'm working on building another stand. Once I'm done I'll see if I can get a few photo's of those setups.

@RSS: some amazing stuff you got there! i wish mine were as perky as yours....maybe its your amazing camera.

Alot of it was learning how to use the camera ;). Once I started doing manual exposures everything started looking so much better. The fancy electronics were overexposing macro shots.

Schoenorchis macrantha not yet fully opened up. Hopefully I won't miss them opening up. Maybe next time I move the root and leaves from the frame.
